Richard Boatman, Bend RV Repair, told me if the controller fails, he can make a replacement.  You may contact him at 541-388-5448.

Marty and Suzie Schenck:
Edward, When you say controller, are you refering to the touch pad controller next to the driver or are you refering to the hydraulic manifold back by the hyd.pump or are you refering to the brainbox that is inside the coach? Northwest RV Supply in Eugene, OR. has several of the touch pads and I have a new still in the box hydraulic manifold. I don't know of any one with a brain box.  Marty

Edward Buker:
Marty,

I was refering to all of the above just in case one of us had a system failure and needed parts. Sounds like the manifold and touch pads are available one way or another. Anyone know if a brain is available anywhere? Hate to be on the road and have a problem that there is no solution for....

Just for added information on this system my "brain box" was under the removable front dash panel on my 2002 Marquis. When I bought the coach this spring it would level up tilted with this hydraulic leveling system. I used some washers under one side to tilt the brain box and that offset calibrated the system. The coach now sets up level with this system just in case anyone else has that problem. The box sits on some random strand board, which is not an overly stable material, but it seems to have leveled properly since this calibration. Hope this helps...

Joey and Jackie Cashen:
I replaced the 'brain box' on my 2001 Marquis while in Eugene September 09. The box was purchased from Northwest RV Supply. After install the system did not work. Traveled on to Bend and had Beaver Coach Sales check and found that one of the rear jacks had been damaged. They replaced the jack and recalibrated the 'brain box' and the system worked fine. Maybe others might know another place that can fix these units but I was satisfied with Beaver Coach Sales.

Rob Perry:
Thanks for the info on the level system, I thought it was me.

Couple of things I have been told:
1. When airing up, if you have a tag axle, have it in the up position.
2. Remember the left side levels and airs up differently because of the weight of the two slides on that side.

I got tired of holding my finger in the red air release button and had a switch installed on the same panel that you throw and a red light comes on and out goes the air. I can walk away and do something more productive. The red light alerts me to turn it off when the action is completed.
